Commercial Quality Electric-Powered Lawn Care Equipment
Greenworks heavy-duty, 82-volt lawn care tools are a cut above other battery-powered tools, including their own consumer lines. Designed for the commercial lawn care industry, the high-powered, brushless motor line will also be an attractive upgrade for farmsteads. A range of recyclable, lithium batteries, from a 2.5Ah 82-volt to a 900-watt backpack battery, matches power to the job. Tools include trimmers, axial and backpack blowers, chainsaws, pole saws and mowers.
“In the past we were highly invested in the residential market with our 40, 60 and 80-volt tools,” says Chad Bishop, Greenworks Commercial. “Our 82-volt line gives commercial operators the power, durability and performance they need. The tool line has more power and a variety of amp hour batteries.”
In addition to the 2.5Ah battery, Greenworks offers 4.0 and 5.0Ah batteries. The 900-watt backpack battery is available for bigger jobs with specific tools. This spring the company is also introducing 3.0 and 6.0Ah batteries. The interchangeable batteries let the operator balance battery weight against run time for a particular job.
“You get more power with higher amps, but the higher amp batteries also weigh more,” notes Bishop. “Which battery you go with depends on if you’re doing light, moderate or heavy work.”
Slip on the backpack battery and you’ve got up to 90 min. of run time with the string trimmer versus up to 25 min. with the 3 1/2-lb., 2.5Ah battery.
The interchangeable 82-volt batteries power both the push and self-propelled walk-behind mowers in the commercial line. The 48-in. stand-on and 60-in. ride-on, zero-turns use dedicated 82-volt 13.8kW batteries that are charged in place.
“With their dual ports, the walk-behinds have 40 to 60 min. run time,” says Bishop. “The 13.8kW batteries in the zero-turns provide up to 6 hrs. run time and speeds up to 10 mph on the GZ 60R rider and 6 mph on the 48S stand-on.”
Greenworks’ Rapid Battery Charger recharges the 2.5Ah battery in 36 min. versus 75 min. with the 5.0Ah battery. Recharge time for the backpack battery is 3 hrs. The 13.8 kW dedicated battery has a 10-hr. recharge time.
A handy accessory for any of the tools using the interchangeable batteries is the battery waist pack. Battery weight is transferred to the waist, reducing fatigue. A 69-in. tether cord connects the battery with a 1-lb. transfer battery in the tool.
“An operator can quickly transfer power from one tool to another when doing multiple tasks,” says Bishop.
Greenworks is riding the wave of battery-powered, lawn care tool adoption. In 2016 Stihl, a leader in gas-powered tools, invested in Greenworks because of their knowledge of lithium technology.
“Our tools are quieter and easier to use, yet have the same performance as fuel-powered tools,” says Bishop.
